Rate this line-up - Kings Crown (1 Viewer)

[PocketAces]

We had the "Rate this inlay" series in 2020, and since I like polls, I thought I'd start a series to pick PCF favorite line up. I am going to use pictures of samples I own because as usueful as the Chip Guide can be, picture quality is often...subpar. Sadly I don't have that many samples, so you are encouraged to contribute with your own (cash/tournament, casino/fantasy - THC/RHC/TRK, your personal CPC custom...doesn't matter as long as you own the sample)

What you are voting on:
- color progression/combinations
- edge spot progression
- inlay design
How do you rate the overall design of the set?

What you aren't voting on:
- rarity/availability
- condition
- affordability

tx @Ben8257 for the picture

Tricky one... inlay is just kinda boring, not anything amazing on the Edge spots (but also keep in mind TRK didn't really go wild with their edge spots!) It does have the awesome "5 spot" that I think they used on the Deadwoods but otherwise I can't recall any company ever using a 5 spot pattern. Prime numbers greater than 3 on edge spots? Just crazy, but I love it!

The $500 up are bright and beautiful colors in person. Overall 7 for me!

I really love these, but I think the lineup you went with is the most plain. I’m no expert, but I think that’s the first fantasy line after the chips were produced for the casino that never opened.

I have some $5’s with the shaped inlay, which makes a big difference, to me, less boring…

I only have one chip, but the quarter pie $5 is insane…

And finally, these quarters from another run of the King’s Crown… (I need a few more, if anyone has)

I think @flipupchipup has a set of the tri-moons, which are absolutely drool-worthy. Need some pics of those!

Not bad. Simple for "real" chips, fancy for "home" chips. Not too much, not too little. Not really my style, though. Solid five out of ten; I'd probably collect a sample set.

Boring inlay, boring edge spots and colours. 5/10 for me.

 

[RichMahogany]

Love them because they're TRK but they're definitely the most bland of them.

Maybe a 6?

 

[raynmanas]

ah my first love, but still only 5/10 for me. the custom ones made later had much better edge spots than the stock offering (*ahem*)

Shitty fantasy remake of casino chips that had shaped ugly inlays. 4/10

Agree, though they do look "classic" so I gave 'em a 7.

As much as I do love TRKs, these versions don't really do it for me. In quantity, like a playable set, that might be different. As singles, not quite so much.

I gave it a 7. The round inlays are pretty boring and the shaped inlays are much more exciting to me. Now, those I wouldn't mind

There are just so many versions to keep track of haha. I know this is only about half of the versions probably bit they are fun to find. Pretty meh overall lineup though.

There are some INSANE looking Kings Crown sets out there though...

Then another set of inlays:

I have loved this set since forever. Whose set is this? I think I remember it from CT days?

I have no idea. I found myself going on a DEEP dive on here one night and just was blown away by some of the stuff that people have.

Not sure why I gave this lineup even a 5/10 earlier this year. These chips are the TRK equivalent of dice chips. 3/10
